Terenka Crawford did not waste time after landing in Australia. Within a few hours, he predicted how the fight with Tim Tku would end (“I feel that he defeated him”), he admitted that he did not know that Tsyzyu was the son of Kostya, and announced that his upcoming $ 200 million with Canelo Alvarez could beat any album in the book – including Maypac’s.

In the seat with Fox Sports AustraliaCrawford honestly talked about heritage, troops, piracy and the one who in his opinion is really the greatest of all time – and the spoiler: this is not him.

When asked, how would the fight with Tim go?

“I feel that I would beat him” Crawford said firmly. “It’s boxing, so you never know. But of course I will have confidence in my skills.”

“I didn’t know that Tim was his son.”

Crawford confirmed that Tim Tziu was on his radar before the end of 2023, when Tsyzu still had the title of WBO Super Welter weighing. But he also revealed that he did not establish a family only later.

“I didn’t know that Tim was his son,” Crawford admitted. “All this went through my head. I guess, because you never see Kostyi in the corner or anything like that.”

“But when Tim began to fight in the United States, then people began to say that he was his father …”

What about Kostya Tiszu himself?

“Kostya Tziu, was a great warrior. A great puncher. I remember how I watched his fight against Judah. And he fights on his way to it … He is someone who was always very respected in boxing sport.”

Both even recently crossed paths:
“And Kostya and I recently met at a boxing party. I think it was in Dubai and we got a picture.”

“If it lights up … he can definitely surpass the Mayweather-Pacquiao.”

Looking to the future, Crawford confirmed that his fight with Canelo Alvarez was set up Las Vegas in SeptemberAnd he says that the rates cannot be higher – or more historical.

“It seems to me that if he lights up, he will receive support for fans, he can certainly make vast numbers required to elevate the great fight of Mayweather-Pacquiao.”
Then, with a smile, he added:
“It only depends on how many people want to steal him with piracy.”

If he won, Crawford would become the first male warrior in the era of four stripes unquestioned in three weight classes.

“Getting my contributions would be a handsome thing.”

The boxing legend Oscar de la Hoya suggested that the victory over Canelo would raise Crawford above Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson. Crawford did not argue – but he remained grounded.

“It makes me feel good because I work challenging in this sport” He said. “So getting my contributions would be a handsome thing.”

He asked who He Is considering the greatest all time?

“Muhammad Ali” Crawford replied without a break.
“I know that many people have sugar Ray Robinson, but of course I didn’t see much, only because of how far it was fought. However, I know that those who saw how they fight, they say it is the greatest. But for me it’s Muhammad Ali.”

“Not only his successes in the ring, but also what he stood for. Only his position on human rights, in defense of his people … There are not many people who do it. He does all the things he did, goes to prison because he did not want to fight people who do not hurt him … Muhammad Ali was a guy.”

“I’m good … Ready for everything people throw in front of me.”

Crawford began his Australian concert tour in Queensland and will last through Melbourne and Sydney. He shrugged, shrugging in the suggestions of Jet Lag.

“I’m good … Ready for everything people throw in front of me.”

With Opetoa, Paro, Cambosos, Wilson and Tziu, who are fights from now to July to July, Crawford’s time fits – and his presence is a warning on every substantial name in the game.

Because asked for the size of his chances in any division, Crawford does not spin him.

“I feel that I would beat him.”

Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown

"Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown"

Solomon Dacres expects to stop Bakhodir Jalolov tonight, but his record offers little support for that prediction against the 6’7″ two-time Olympic gold medalist.

Jalolov has looked sluggish enough lately to give critics room for skepticism. The dominant puncher seen in the amateur ranks rarely appears in his prize ring outings, prompting a few observers to sniff an upset. Regardless, Jalolov looking flat does not suddenly transform Dacres into a top threat.

“Got to get him out of there, man,” Dacres told SecondsOut. “Mid to late rounds.”

That would be a considerable leap for a fighter whose most revealing professional result remains his first-round stoppage defeat to David Adeleye in December 2024.

Dacres describes that loss as a “blip,” but it came against the most notable opponent he had faced. Across five years as a professional, he hasn’t built a record of beating contenders that would make a Jalolov knockout seem likely.

His points win against Vladyslav Sirenko also requires context. Sirenko amassed numbers without testing himself against true threats, meaning that victory hardly proves Dacres can deal with Jalolov’s height, reach, and southpaw boxing skills.

“This fight here is beyond English title level, man,” Dacres said. “This is like world level.”

Jalolov deserves criticism for how slowly his professional career has moved and for performances that haven’t matched expectations. His Olympic medals don’t excuse that, and Dacres has an opportunity to make him work.

Expecting Dacres to win because Jalolov underwhelms ignores his own modest punch output. Managing just three stoppages across ten victories, he lacks the firepower to back up big talk.

For Dacres to land the kinds of sustained combinations required to stop someone Jalolov’s size, he has to pin him down. Jalolov does not fight like a traditional, stationary heavyweight slugger. Even when he looks uninspired, he uses lateral footwork, maintains long range with his southpaw lead hand, and angles off before opponents can set their feet.

Dacres lacks both the foot speed to cut off the ring effectively and the explosive one-punch power to make Jalolov cautious. If Dacres tries to force the issue, he’ll put himself at risk of getting caught. Pressing aggressively against a 6’7″ southpaw who excels at firing straight left hands down the pipe is asking for trouble.

Unless Jalolov completely checks out mentally and stands against the ropes to trade, Dacres will be eating long jabs and counters all night, with a Jalolov stoppage being the far more probable outcome.
